Dunsfold canopy cleaning
Deep cleaning of kitchen canopies, hoods, plenums and grease filters, inside and out for Dunsfold, with a survey first and a report with pictures at the end. Call for a fixed quote.

- A filter housing caked in grease
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
What we’re called out for in Dunsfold
Grease does not build up any differently in Dunsfold: it comes down to how long the kitchen cooks and what’s on the menu. Frying and grilling load a canopy far faster than steaming or boiling.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- Fat running down the front of the hood
A hospital like Milford Hospital, about 4.3 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What your quote should include
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether they’re fully insured
Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Dunsfold
If the canopy in Dunsfold is dripping, sticky or overdue a clean? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will give you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, typically within one working day. If you are dealing with a plenum thick with grease behind the filters and grease channels that no longer drain, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Dunsfold, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a few hours for most canopies. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Dunsfold run smoothly.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Run the extract the whole time you are cooking
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
Tell us if the canopy starts dripping or the filters clog sooner than usual. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
How we price canopy cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Common questions in Dunsfold
Can the work in Dunsfold be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Dunsfold doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Dunsfold?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Dunsfold. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
Canopies in pubs, restaurants, hotels, schools, care homes, offices and other kitchens. The routine stays the same whatever the kitchen, with the equipment off and cool.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Dunsfold?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
The filters come out so the plenum behind them can be cleaned, then clean and refit them. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
What canopy cleaning looks like in Dunsfold
Fire safety in Dunsfold falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. We cover Dunsfold, about 33 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary and All Saints or anywhere around Dunsfold, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Around Dunsfold

Well-known places in the area include Milford Hospital (4.3 miles north-west). For a walk, there’s Lower Lake and Hydon's Ball.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
- A light fitting that doesn’t work
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
